Percentage of Components in a Liquid Mixture, by
Volume
Component A
10.0%
Component B
25.0%
Component C
20.0%
Component D
45.0%
A liquid mixture is composed of four components, and the table
shows the percentage, by volume, of each component. The volume of
each component prior to mixing is the same as the volume of that
component in the mixture. A procedure can be used to extract the
individual components that were combined to form the liquid
mixture. When the procedure is applied to extract the components in
the mixture, a portion of the volume of the components may be
lost.
If the volume of component B in the
liquid mixture is 1.00 milliliter, what is the total volume, in
milliliters, of the liquid mixture?
